Byrd School 5.0

Our school building, Richard E. Byrd Academy, has big problems. These three main ideas are what I think are important issues: restrooms, temperature and windows. We need a new school because of these problems.It is really important to learn so you can be great when you grow up.

The restrooms are filthy and dirty. There are spitballs all over the place. They do not get cleaned up properly. It is also really smelly in the bathrooms. As an example of how bad they are, sinks move and water leaks on the floor. The sinks have bugs in them and water is everywhere. The hot water faucets have cold water. Kids don't like using the bathrooms since they are so gross and falling apart.

In fact at Byrd The temperatures in the classrooms are broken. The heat is not turned on. It is really cold in the classrooms. As another example we have to put on our coats during class because it is so cold. They cannot fix it because the pipes are broken. It is uncomfortable and hard to learn. Our hands are cold and we cannot write. This needs to be changed

As another example the windows are cracked. It is cold in our class because the windows are cracked. There are bullet holes in the windows. The windows are not efficient enough. We can not see through the windows. There is tape on the windows.It is dark in the classrooms.We can not hardly see what we are doing because it is so dark.

You should come here and see for yourself. You would not let your kids come to a school that is falling apart. Since windows, tempature and restrooms are not right we should get a whole new school building. The problems are not fixable.
